GPs can engage men who are at risk of perpetrating family violence – and prevent them harming their families. Here’s how.
What’s often missing from domestic violence responses are investments and strategies to stop men perpetrating violence in the first place.
Victoria’s Royal Commission into Family Violence will today hear how the health system can better respond to partner abuse, with the help of trained professionals and broader, government support.
Legal requirements for doctors to report family violence to police may sound good at first glance. But evidence shows it’s better doctors are trained to support women to make their own decisions.
For every woman who reports domestic abuse, many more remain silent through fear, shame or simply because they don’t know who to turn to. But new digital programs could help.
